Nyla walked over and took Valarie’s cold hand, whispering, “Valarie, maybe there’s some misunderstanding. Don’t be too upset.”
Valarie nodded. “Mm, I know.”
She wouldn’t believe Jacqueline’s words until Tom himself confirmed them in person.
Soon, Tom’s secretary, Fred Sailor, arrived.
He hurried over to Jacqueline, completely unaware of Valarie and Nyla standing nearby. “Ms. Rainford, Mr. Genge is in a meeting, so he sent me.”
Jacqueline pointed her chin in the direction of Valarie and Nyla. “There, they’re the ones trying to take the suit from me.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
